The Western Suburbs of Lexington, just outside of the historic downtown area, showcases the city's rich history and deep culture. Revival-style buildings from the turn of the 20th century line West Short Street, and several of the structures house apartments that attract residents of all ages. Renters often head to the outskirts of the suburbs to live in contemporary lofts and high-rises.
Specialty shops and neighborhood taverns dot the historic district, and nearby Lexington Center provides plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment. A favorite weeknight destination for locals, Yesterday's Billiard Room Bar and Grille, features food, drinks, and billiards. Downtown Lexington and the western suburbs place emphasis on the arts and creativity. Several art galleries reside in the community, and the town hosts regular art-and-craft events.
